The Thread of Injustice

[X Knight]

After what was said about how popular Scorpion was as DLC for IGAU, I expected Sub-Zero at some point. One MK character, whatever. Two is taking the piss though. Consider that they worked up concept art for Static, had his design all ready to go, decided against him being on the roster (apparently) and then, shoehorned Raiden into the mix. Again, lame.

agreed.

Would people be fine with a Static Shock premier skin and specific abilities added for Raiden?

I guess it would be something.

but as I've said before, premier skins aren't fully developed characters with their own story, endings, etc.

so, it still wouldn't be Static Shock - it's still Raiden.

same with a Raven skin for Enchantress. that would NOT be an acceptable substitute for me.

And Static would have pretty much the same fighting style and stance as Raiden. Already not a fan of Vixen being a skin for Cheetah. Vixen could have been a fantastic standalone character. Instead she's being reduced to a lousy skin.

 

[X Knight]

^ agreed.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Was waiting for a Definitive Edition with this anyway, but Hellboy being added is going to make that wait a lot harder.

 

[CB Fan]

Yeah I can accept one MK character but two is just BS. Hellboy is awesome though as is Manta.

 

[X Knight]

I'm glad I didn't rush out and buy the Season Pass or splurge for the Ultimate Edition.....lol.

I want Starfire, but so far the rest of the DLC roster has been underwhelming.

I'm also glad I got Injustice 2 free with my Xbox.....haha.

but the likely alternative now is that he isn't in the game at all

that's true.

but if given the choice, for a character I want, I'd rather they not be in the game instead of being a mere skin of an unrelated character.

of course, that's how I feel about it, of course.

 

[Mister J]

I don't think they'd tag a premier skin onto a DLC character. It would seem to limit the audience (as opposed to tagging it onto a base roster character) and it reeks of greed. However, greed would be nothing new (Hi, shader option costs). Better than nothing at this point. Hopefully, it'd be more customized than the Vixen skin on Cheetah. That's... disappointing.

 

[X Knight]

instead of Premiere skins, I kind of wished we got "alternate universe" versions of the characters.

Power Girl is essentially that to Supergirl, but I would have loved to play "good universe" Superman and Wonder Woman, for example.

 

[NongEyeGong]

My face when I saw Raiden...

...but then I saw Black Manta and Hellboy:

 

[CB Fan]

The premiere skins are fine. Vixen only getting to channel a cheetah sucks but it still works and she looks and sounds great. I just don't get the complaints when it comes to them. They are extras and would probably be left off other wise so I'm happy for them.

 

[zeptron]

Vixen being a premier skin was the only one that disappointed me. Because it's a huge waste of her potential. She can mimic the stances of other animals aside from wildcats. If she had her own spot they could've given her such a neat variable RNG sort of trait that would alter some specials and normals. Almost like being 3 MKX variations in one.

Ok, so in this video of EPN.tv the run down, it show's the literal listing of the voting online for Hellboy and how he got in the game .

And the possiblity of Todd Mcfarlen's Spawn coming to the game the latter is a may and not indefenity well til nether real say's other wise.

Black Manta trailer

[X Knight]

Black Manta actually looks kind of cool.

but his eye laser attacks seem kind of redundant/too similar with Superman/Supergirl heat vision attacks.

I don't know much about the character, though, so I don't know if eye lasers are a signature move for him.

Not sure if anybody else knew this but today Neatherrealm announced that they are implementing Legendary gear into the game:

[YT]DW1iwlxrvCQ[/YT]

And hoooooooooly hell it is a grind. It honestly wouldn't be so bad if they were to account for your statistics since the game's launch but this is a stretch.

 

[Havok83]

1 million credits is ridiculous and exists to encourage sales of their microtransactions

Retail listings suggest Injustice 2 is on the way to PC

Injustice 2 came to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier this year, but the DC-branded fighting game pointedly did not release on PC. That may be...Read more

[Mister J]

If it heads to PC, everything about the gear system will be broken in about 17 minutes... which is a glorious thought.

Looking forward to kicking Aquaman's Atlantean ass later today with Black Manta.

 

[Havok83]

I didnt realize how ridiculous the requirements for legendary gear was. They looked bad as is but I didnt realize there was one for each multiverse set. What makes it worse is that they arent retroactive. After grinding dozens of hours for a damn ability, they are crazy to think Im gonna do this agian. Nope!

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Agreed! I saw a video and the stat boost is only 700 too. I have some Epics with more than that!
